Travyon Martin murderer walks away scot free

George Zimmerman

The authors that write for this blog share this short statement
in response to the Zimmerman verdict. We will write more as things develop over
the next few days.

*****************

So the racist murderer Zimmerman walks free. The producers
of this blog are enraged. Think about who this racist murderer
really is. In the past he was accused of domestic violence against a former girl
friend. A younger female cousin accused him in the past of molestation and
assault. This same younger cousin also said that Zimmerman's family was
proudly racist against Black people. He was also arrested for assaulting a cop.
This horrible creature murdered a young man because this young man was
black and he could get away with it and he did. He is from a privileged
background, his father being a retired judge.Are we supposed to think this means nothing in America?

But it’s not only Zimmerman and his family who were and are racist. So are
the prosecutors who dragged in every racial stereotype they could and the judge who determines what can or cannot be allowed in to the case and directs the affair. The
Jury was also racist. Nobody could have listened to this case, where a young
man who was doing nothing wrong was murdered walking home from the store, and
not seen it was murder unless they were racist. This cannot be seen in isolation as young
black men are murdered with impunity by the police in US society.And of course the US capitalist system and
its so-called justice system is racist and biased. No one actually believes
that we are all treated equally under the law. Young black men can be shot at
will in our society and they fill the prisons in droves.

The reason Trayvon Martin was murdered and his murderer got
off was because Trayvon Martin was a young black male.

Some of us who write for this blog have black male grandchildren.People sometimes do not understand why the
parent or relative of a black male might be concerned when our young ones are
out in the world. But it is completely normal for black folks to feel this way
given the murder of their children by the police and racists and a justice
system that allows it.

A white mother of five who reads this blog told us that she
would be terrified to have a young black male child. She says she does not know
how Black mothers have the strength to put up with the murdering and
jailing of their children, especially their male children.We agree but it is time for action.

There are numerous protests and gatherings throughout the
country tomorrow in response to this racist verdict and there will no doubt be
more.. They are all over Facebook and social, networking sites. If you work
with black folks, if you drink with them, if you are their neighbors and even
if you aren’t it is your obligation, the obligation of all people to get off
their asses and come out for our brothers and sisters in the black communities
across this nation as this situation develops.

Anyone that can’t come out in to the streets and to actions
and protests in support of our black brothers, sisters and comrades to protest
yet another racist verdict and the freeing of a privileged thug and racist
killer of black youth we don’t want to hear you whining about property
destruction and rioting should this occur given the anger at this travesty. Do
not let the black communities stand alone.
